The prediction of protein folding rates is a necessary step towards understanding the principles of protein folding. Due to the increasing amount of experimental data, numerous protein folding models and predictors of protein folding rates have been ...
Protein fold recognition is an important and essential step in determining tertiary structure of a protein in biological science. In this study, a model termed NiRecor is developed for recognizing protein folds based on artificial neural networks inc...
Here we present the results of residue-residue contact predictions achieved in CASP11 by the CONSIP2 server, which is based around our MetaPSICOV contact prediction method. On a set of 40 target domains with a median family size of around 40 effectiv...
MOTIVATION: Protein fold space is a conceptual framework where all possible protein folds exist and ideas about protein structure, function and evolution may be analyzed. Classification of protein folds in this space is commonly achieved by using sim...
Variations in proteins have very large number of diverse effects affecting sequence, structure, stability, interactions, activity, abundance and other properties. Although protein-coding exons cover just over 1 % of the human genome they harbor an di...
Enzyme catalysis is one of the most essential and striking processes among of all the complex processes that have evolved in living organisms. Enzymes are biological catalysts, which play a significant role in industrial applications as well as in me...
Membrane protein folding in the viscous microenvironment of a lipid bilayer is an inherently slow process that challenges experiments and computational efforts alike. The folding kinetics is moreover associated with topological modulations of the bio...
